I agree with you 100% and ignore the lovely "positive welcoming inclusive destiny community" below in the comments yelling at you, screaming to LFG it or get gud, or saying its a Multiplayer game (neglects the fact solo players have played this game for 10 yrs, the entire campaign was solo, the missions after and exotics were solo AND the new Pale Heart patrol area was exclusively SOLO ONLY) yeah the comments last few days have proven why so many of us avoid the LFG and this "community"

They don't need to tell anything to you, stop whining.

They didn't mention it because its a secret mission. They did the same with the Whisper mission and Niobe labs years ago.

When in the vidoc did they say it's solo'able lol trash logic,

Why would they advertise a secret mission, and why would they think that having a mission that requires use of multi-player would be bad in a MULTIPLAYER GAME

They could have easily said something before launch, or even before worlds first, but no, they decided to be cute and secretive and shot themselves in the foot.

They had no issue taking our money though and leaving that part out. SMFH

I think most of the point is it was one of the main selling points for final shape and shouldn't of been implemented the way it has been an almost locked out of reach for alot of players especially since every elitist and his grandma preaches for nerfs in the name of balance ,but balance goes out the window now since we have such things as pvp orientated content and build videos that cannot be replicated without those exotic pieces more or less the whole reason warmind mods /well mods were removed because players that didn't have certain mods couldn't do certain builds, and bungies doing it again Reason why some players blame streamers is because bungie keeps creating content that always ends up with players having to watch a tutorial on the web to do it efficiently without being booted ,accused of wasting time for not watching the vid because all posts in lfg are kwtd already and since we have toxic community members that will boot you at a chest if they don't believe you pulled your weight aswell community is right to be annoyed especially since bungie doesn't ban players for booting at the chest

Do you have to do it on each character to unlock them for that character?

All exotic missions are “solo-able” as a challenge. Not for the solo players in mind. They were never catering to solo players ever. It’s a multiplayer game.

wtf lol they don’t have to. They didn’t say you couldn’t get the heavy trace solo either. This has to be the most ridiculous post I’ve ever seen well along with every other one about it. You people are delusional sorry.

You (meaning anyone) freely purchased a prouduct classed as mmo, with well documented ten year history....and agreed to TOS. These are the facts. Bungie has, and will take certain license freedom with its creation. There is no breach or mislead in terms. Whether or not any individual finds satisfaction in this is something else. Questions of Bungie motivation vary. For me, I appreciate the social aspect focus in this iteration. It's more than I could have expected....and has been a pleasant surprise. Examples: toughest Contest mode Raid to date immediately followed by well received epic campaign finale for the masses (while honoring player request for match made 12). Pale Heart space as stand alone unique offering where you can solo, fireteam, or match make. Exotic class item which is soloable to a point if you choose, followed by team of two requirement. In practice, a fair portion of Destiny content is not soloable for most players, although the option to do so has been historically available for the most part. Where would Dual fall even if a solo queue version were available?......that's a hypothetical for debate and no conclusive answer. A recent example would be Outbreak Perfected, which is reported by light.gg (just one readily available metric source) to have been discover by just 2.34% of guardians. Comparatively speaking......if a proposed Dual solo queue were to yield a similar 2% discover rate, there wouldn't be much of an argument to be found against implementing 2s in Dual..... In any matching instance, this would take into account various barriers (excapt skill level) including accessibility for individuals with certain impairments. The Beta in-game LFG is a good example, accounting for title options including greeting / goals. Tags including deaf, hard of hearing, color blind, visual impairment....and more. Languages. Mic/no Mic....etc. Yes, LFG exists for Dual. As an offering for 2s.....is it so wrong / difficult to view this as a positive? I view this as a gap bridging and/or alternate experience opportunity. 2s have been interesting in PvP lists....and you'll also find them solicited in the LFG for things other than Dual. This shouldn't be so much about complaints....which comprise most of the input on this board. At the end of the day this comes down to communication and relationship, just like the rest of life.....even if it is just for an hour or two with other players via _____ (fill in the blank) avenue. The real question is - where are you, as an individual, meeting Destiny? Sincerely, 10 year solo player
